712. The Siege of Springs
After hearing Zheng Jiang's words, Mingde was overjoyed, he was really afraid that Zheng Jiang would kill him impulsively.
If Zheng Jiang was going to hand him over to Jing Shao to dispose of, he would have a lot of time to try to convince Zheng Jiang to intercede for them in front of Jing Shao.
So that Jing Shao will be lightly punished by these main generals, this army, Jing Shao will not deal with it, after all, this is the army of the Chu people, although the Chu people have done something wrong, the Chu people will also trigger the Chu people who have done wrong things, but the Chu people will not punish the Chu people by self-harm.
And Mingde's idea was to persuade Zheng Jiang to let Zheng Jiang guarantee these high-ranking generals, and in return he would take refuge in Zheng Jiang's disciples.
As for why you don't choose to take refuge in others, the main reason is that they are very familiar with this legion, and they also have a certain sense of closeness, if they take refuge in others, it means that everything starts from scratch, and with the identity of a traitor, the future will definitely be bumpy, and it is very possible to even have no career.
No one has the habit of emphasizing traitors, and for the Chu people, they are traitors to the Chu people.
"Come on, put them in prison!" Zheng Jiang waved his hand, and the soldiers walked forward, and they took out ropes and tied Mingde up.
And Mingde and the others were still very cooperative, they looked at Zheng Jiang and said, "General, I hope you can come to the prison and see me, I have something to say to you!" ”
"These words are harmless to the general!" After speaking, Mingde left under the escort of the soldiers.
And Zheng Jiang looked at his adjutant and asked, "Do you think I'm going to see what he says?" ”
"The general should go!" The adjutant whispered.
"Why?" Zheng Jiang looked at the adjutant and asked suspiciously.
"Mingde and the general are old people, if my guess is correct, the king of Chu will reintegrate the general's soldiers with Naoya's soldiers, and the general will be in command!"
"This point, Mingde should also see it, I think he should hope that the general can intercede for him in front of General Jing Shao and win a way for him to live!"
"Betraying the State of Chu, there is only a way to die, there is no way to live!" Zheng Jiang said lightly.
"General, Mingde and the others also have a certain prestige in this legion, if they live to take refuge under the general's banner, the general can better control this legion!"
"If the general insists on letting Mingde and the others die, the soldiers will inevitably hate the general for killing their commander, which is not conducive to the general's mastery of this legion!" The adjutant looked at Zheng Jiang and said.
"Hearing you say that, I have to save this Mingde?" Zheng Jiang looked at his adjutant and asked.
"Not only Mingde, but people with the same status as Mingde must be rescued by the general, of course, if the general is sure to master this army and can suppress their hatred, I didn't say it!" The adjutant whispered.
Zheng Jiang was silent for a while, shook his head, and prepared two pots of good wine for me, and I will go to the prison to talk to this Mingde.
Qi State Spring City.
Bai Qi, the general of Qin, was besieged by the Qi army in Quancheng, in the early days, Bai Qi relied on his own talent and was able to deal with the Qi army, fighting back and forth, Bai Qi wanted to break through the siege from Quancheng, ran all the way, fled to Zhaodi, and returned to Qin from Zhaodi.
However, the Northern Army led by Qi Jie rushed south overnight and attacked the Qi army in Quancheng, and this Qin army suffered the biggest defeat.
Bai Qi was besieged outside Quancheng, Quancheng has been lost, although Bai Qi is good at field warfare, famous for field warfare, but at this time his opponent is the elite cavalry of Qi State, the first cavalry regiment of Kyushu.
The opponent's soldiers are strong, their morale is high, and their resources are sufficient, while Bai Qi, on the other hand, has experienced a long war and lacks resources, which has created a very low morale.
And a plain in the wild, confronting the heavy cavalry of the Qi State on the plain is undoubtedly no different from suicide.
The point is that the Qin State is short of food, if there is grain and grass, Bai Qi still has the confidence to fight with the Qi army for one or two rounds, but there is no granary, the soldiers are not full, how to fight with the elite Qi army?
Among the coalition forces, Qin is the key target of Qi and the object of Qi's strongest forces.
In the early days, Jiang Shu of the Xuzhou Army was entangled with Bai Qi, but the two sides were at war, and Jiang Shu was always at a disadvantage, which made Bai Qi sit in Quancheng.
Later, Sun Bin came straight with the army, and Bai Qi fought a big battle, after three days of stalemate between the two sides, they were surrounded by Bai Qi, and Bai Qi even carried out a beheading operation, preparing to kill Sun Bin.
Sun Bin had a disease in his legs, and the success rate of the beheading operation was very large, so Bai Qi wanted to kill Sun Bin and regain his morale, rush to the Song Dynasty, and then flee to Zhao State.
But the unfortunate news was that Qi Jie came with a surprise attack with heavy cavalry, which ruined his beheading operation, and cut off the connection between the Qin army and Quancheng, and Jiang Shu successfully captured Quancheng, so that Bai Qi was surrounded on three sides and camped outside Quancheng.
In Bai Qi's tent at this time, a general named Li Geng walked in, he looked at Bai Qi and said, "General, the last general has a plan to get the general out of the siege of Quancheng!" ”
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Geng and said, "What is the plan?" ”
"I'll pretend to be a general and have a decisive battle with the Qi State, and the general will leave by the way!" Li Geng looked at Bai Qi and said.
Bai Qi frowned when he heard this: "Nonsense, my dignified general of the Qin State, how can I be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ”
"General Qin can do without me, Li Geng, but can't do without general!"
"The responsibility for the defeat of this battle is not the general, the indiscriminate command in Shengang allowed the Qi army to successfully counterattack, break through one by one, and let the coalition army be defeated here!"
"Looking at the battle situation, we have been surrounded by the Qi army, and the elite heavy cavalry of the Qi army on this plain will only end up defeated and heroic!"
"Instead of being heroic, the general should flee from here, return to the Qin State, and avenge us!" Li Geng looked at Bai Qi and said.
And at this time, a bunch of generals came out, and they clasped their fists and said: "I hope that the general will be perfect, and the Qin State cannot do without a general!" ”
Bai Qi was silent, indeed, judging from the current situation, if the battle continues, his end for Bai Qi will only be heroic and righteous.
And this Qin army died here in vain, is he afraid of death in vain? He is not afraid of death, and on the battlefield, he has always taken the lead and observed the war.
But died here like this, he was dissatisfied in his heart, Bai Qi looked at Li Geng, he stood up and handed over his handsome seal to Li Geng.
"The legion is handed over to you, and from now on you will be the general of the Qin State!" Bai Qi patted Li Geng's shoulder and said heavily.
Li Geng knelt on the ground on one knee: "The last general will definitely not insult the reputation of the Qin army and fight to the death with the Qi army to the end!" ”
Bai Qi nodded: "Everyone, if Bai Qi can return to the Qin State alive, I will definitely attack Yingqiu and avenge the blood marks of your soldiers." ”
